Money Matters

The amount you need to bring will depend on your personal spending habits. We recommend that you bring 500euros –750 Euros in traveler’s checks and 500 Euros in cash to cover your expenses the first few weeks in Barcelona. You should buy traveler’s checks before you leave your home country. Traveler’s checks are much safer than carrying large amounts of cash and can be cashed at airports and most banks. We recommend that you record the serial numbers of your traveler’s checks and to keep them in a safe place in case you lose or misplace them.

If you are planning to use a credit or debit card from your local bank at home, check that you will be able to use the card in the Spain and what charges will be applied to your account. Visa, Visa Electron and MasterCard- are widely accepted in the Spain. Also, in order to use it as a debit card, you will need to know your PIN—the 4 digit Personal Identification Number used to withdraw money from a cash machine (ATM). Without this, you may not be able to use your card to pay for purchases. It is advised that you inform your credit or debit card company that you will be studying abroad to avoid the risk of their freezing your account in suspect of fraud.
